Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: TV showgirl Anastasia Ronca fell to compatriot Cosmary Fasanelli in the 'Veline' boxing on her debut and she tries her chances versus international competition with Polish glamour model Monika Pietrasinska looking to avenge a loss to another Italian Alessia Uva in the process. Monika owns a respectable record however BBU TV's Georgie Thompson claims she won't really threaten the established pecking order and tonight's fight serves as potential benchmark for Ronca more than anything else.

Anastasia Ronca wears a black crop top, matching hip-huggers & red gloves. Long dyed blonde hair tied in a custom ponytail. Monika Pietrasinska wears a white crop top, jeans shorts & brown gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the lightweight division.

Round 1:
Monika shows no respect to the otherwise inexperienced opponent and whacks her straight up the middle before landing more clean hits into the blonde's face. Anastasia tries to find a response but gets bullied in close range and leaks more punches that only make the brunette even more aggressive down the stretch. The slugging chase is on however Monika can't quite deliver that early haymaker and has to be satisfied with making the local 'veline' look scared to slug it out. More single punches crash into Ronca's face in the final minute and she wobbles onto the ropes with a loud whimper but the expiring clock comes to her rescue before Pietrasinska can do more damage.

Round 2:
More heavy slugging from Monika who wants to further extend her authority in this fight and while she lands some meaningful single punches into the blonde's face, she can't quite catch her with the vintage haymaker and then falls second best when Anastasia shows quick mobility to escape the Polish heat. The local favorite reverts back to pure counter-punching approach and actually manages to neutralize the brunette's production to the point she locks her in a clinch and wrestles back to the turnbuckle where she sticks a proper series into her stomach. That's too little too late to steal the round but the partisan crowd has someting to cheer about now.

Round 3:
Anastasia opens the third with a quick left/right series before booming a left hook on Monika's nose to trigger a hectic head-hunting exchange in the center of the ring. The Polish model rises to the challenge and tries to simply break the showgirl's resilience heads-up but still eats a couple of big shots square on the nose and shoots over Ronca's head while the Italian tackles her to the body and rips a hard one-liner on the liver area that finally slumps the brunette into visible discomfort. However she fails to follow through on the opportunity and Monika reloads her stance after a brief clinching stalemate. She drops immediate hook on the blonde's face and seeks that haymaker decider only to get beaten by a counter-punching flurry as Ronca refuses to let go of the momentum in the closing stages of the round.

Rounds 4 & 5:
More dirty slugging in the proverbial phone booth; Anastasia jumps into a higher gear and matches the Polish glamour model for every punch before blasting a left hook on the jaw that makes Pietrasinska gurgle in shock. She tries to slug it right back at the local favorite but then eats more counter-punches over the top and suffers a nasty cut below the right eye in the final minute of the fourth that fuels an aggressive finish from Anastasia to take the round. More of the same in the fifth, Monika's precision goes away and she almost tries to do too much out there while Ronca splits her mitts on a regular basis and clobbers her back to the ropes where she is only delayed by some desperate clinching. She shakes off the procedure and drops some harpoons on the exposed midriff before an uppercut double breaks Monika's earmuff cover and sinks her on wobbly knees come the bell. Game on, bytch!

Round 6:
Anastasia rocks the tourist with a right hook seconds into the sixth and drops more head shots on target in quick order as Monika loses her grip on this bout wholesale and gets pounded into a standstill during a one-sided opening minute. She avoids getting trapped on the ropes but the slugging contest begins to take its toll on the hitherto superior Polish model and she succumbs to the pressure bailing out of the heat when the Italian TV showgirl cuts her up below the right eye again. Ugh! That's one nasty swelling starting to appear around the wounded spot and Monika gets shut down with all this otherwise predictable head-hunting that bounce her into an earmuff cover to run out the clock. Nothing fancy here from Ronca but the old fashioned bashing still does the trick!

Round 7:
Monika is slow to get up for the seventh and takes more hard shots up the middle; she tries to swing back to catch the local favorite with that haymaker finish but she couldn't do it before and she can't do it now... meanwhile Anastasia just keeps plugging along and glues the ailing brunette to the spot before another wild hook crashes into the brow ridge and finally breaks the tourist's resistance. Monika goes all wobbly legs again and drops her gloves in order to maintain balance but this only allows Ronca to SMOKE her with a brutal hook on the jaw that duly sends Pietrasinska CRASHING DOWN ON HER BACK a split second later. Heavy knockdown here and the Rome crowd can start celebrating already as Anastasia is ready to claim her maiden BBU victory. The count is a foregone conclusion as Monika remains buried in horizontal demise. KO7 Anastasia Ronca!!!

AFTER: That was a great finish from the blonde veline but she's very much a work in progress and needs more battle testing if she plans to be taken seriously by most of her peers. Meanwhile Monika showcased her trademark M.O., a lot of desire & aggression but the bad eventually outweights the good. There's a reason why her record hoovers around .500 but that's still better than many of these glamour models who usually serve as punchbags for more qualified opponents.

Official Result: Anastasia Ronca def. Monika Pietrasinska KO7.
